Trash Bags Backpack Update

Today I picked up my custom Trash Bags backpack from Andy at Trash Bags. It was in the shop for a some upgrades. Over the last few months Andy has developed a new strap system and he graciously offered to make some alterations to mine.

The back originally looked like this

and it now looks like this

It's got new straps, a new waist belt, and the addition of the side wings.

Prior to this it was a great pack for carrying a large load, such as when I took it to New York for a week. It's plenty big enough to live out of. The problem was that it just didn't hang right when empty. The wings fix that.

Thanks for the upgrade Andy. This once more proves the advantages of buying from local craftsman.
